in Figs. et and rolved, a sliefht deviation in the structure being necessary toV permit of the adjustment and arrangementoit the parts to produce the desired result. in this instance, the connec- 5, the same principle is intion 3 is composed of the two plates Aia-Ab, the rncn'iber -l-b being recessed as at 'l5 to prei; the projection or shoulder Q to cori respond with the projection 9 1n F 1g. 3, `the samihowever, being` tix .il/and, cooperating with the movable projection 11" carried by the corrugated disk 1'4". The disk 16 is formed integral with and-carried by the temple bows 2. The adjusting` screw 87/ utes a means for holding the plates 'i in adjusted position. while the disk 17 carried in the. recessed portion of the member 4E will be maintained and properly adi iusted with relation to thefcorrugated disk 1l ci the bow 2 so that the projections 9 l 1"' l prevent the outward spreading of the heretofore described. in this instance, the 'pin or screw 14 is cmpiojed a pivoting element between the connection andthe/bow Q.

in 6 and?, the connection 3a composed of the two members 1L-4d is einployed, the section d being recessed asiat 18 for the adjustable reception of the sleeve 19 having the segmental corrugated portion and the curved projection 9a. This member is adjustable within the recess 18 and is held in the desired adjustment by means of the screw The under surface as at Q2 cf tie. member #ic is corrugated to coperatie 'l the corrugated portion Q0 of the mem- 10, the clamping' screw 8 being provided ook tlo sections i together so as to t lil in its desired aded position with projection 9 limitu. niff the movement oi" the projection 11 of in borY carried member or disk 12a. in the form of connection shown in Figs. 8. and 1G, the connection 3b is'composed of the two platos -tQ--fi-f `both or' which are rec .ed i t JZor the reception ot`.the cam said cam @Li being disposed for oscillas ay clamping' means to maintain the together. The hooked terminal 9b cam :2li is adapted to be heldin the adjusted position by means of the i plate -le and the 2d carried by g e ot the can. 'The terminal 9b tion upon the adjusting screw which also I two plates 4g and 4 missili cob'perates with the so as to limit the movement of the bow 2b as heretofore described. rlhe bow disk 12b in this instance is i'ixed upon the pin or screw 115 and thus is permitted the desired movement for collapsing as in the structure heretofore described. The screw 2G is provided with a conical wedging' end so that the inclined face of such end will be caused to engage the edge of the cam 2.4i with its point entering the aperture 27, thus it will be seen that when the screw 25 is loosened and the screw 26 is rotated to move the wedgiup; end thereof inwardly.-y that the inclined face of .such wedging end acting upon. the edge of the cani adjacent the aperture 27 will cause the cam to be moved to the desired adjustment. regardless of how slight it has been found necessary, at which time the screw 25 is tightened to lock the parts in such adjustment. `W ith this form of adjusting means, the very finest adjustment is had, the screw 2G as heretofore stated constituting a wedging deviceto coperate with the aperture 27 as clearly illustrated in Fig; l to thus adjustthe cam 2st, such adjustment being accomplishedwhen the screw is loosened.

ln the'form of connection shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the connection 3L' composed of the is' recessed as at 18 for the reception of the adjusting member 20 carried by the screw 21', the bow carrying' disk 12 having the projection 11c to cooperate with the flattened end 9 of the adjusting member 20. rlhe corrugated portion 22 of the late 4g coperating as in the forni shown in adjusted osition.

connection with the detailed ,structure set forth and shown, it is evident'that the correct harnessing, so to speak, of the spectacle frame upon the face and against the temples of the wearer, is particularly accomplished, the preventing of the movement of the temple bows outwardly beyond a plane at right angles to the plano of th'lenses, accomplishing this result, and 'thus preventing defective vision due to the looseness of the connection ofthe bows to the lens frame. It has been found that as long :fl a 'Well fitted spectacle trame is new and ii: proper condition, none oi" the inconveniences as to the outward spreading of the' temple bows is permitted, but in the course of time the parts of the trame and the tempie' bows that press against each other at the connection will lfpcome worn to such an extent that the frame and temple bowC cease to be at right angles tf, each other to press said bows against the temples and back of the ears sufficiently to maintain the lenses in proper relation to the eyes, such loose connection permitting the shitting up or down oi' the lenses and conse- Fig. 7, to lock the disk'QO in4 izo isc
